Here’s the first thing that trips people up. You might assume that if you don’t own a giant telly, you’re off the hook. But in today’s world, a “TV” is anything that can show you live broadcasts. That includes your laptop, your tablet, and even your phone.
Picture this: you’re on your lunch break, scrolling through your phone, and you accidentally tap on a live news stream from BBC One. Even if it’s just for ten seconds, that counts. The law doesn’t care about the screen size; it cares about how you’re watching.
